Have you ever had rum cream?  No? There is a reason why, it is a specialty mix that is sold in Jamaica and unless you have had the pleasure of lying on the beaches there you probably have not had it since it is not available in the U.S. Still, even if you haven’t tasted it take a look at the ingredients below, you want some now don’t you?  Go grab whatever ingredients you don’t have on hand, bring them home, and lets whip up this badboy. Poolside, porch,  wherever-it’s gonna be so good. A delicious creamy rum drink that stands alone amazing over ice or as a delicious base in drinks you will want to keep some in your fridge at all times.

1 cup dark rum

2 Tbsp. brewed coffee

3 Tbsp. chocolate syrup

1 tsp. vanilla extract

It seems that Rum Cream is the base for most of the amazing drink concoctions we enjoyed while at Sandals Ochi this spring….given that we wanted to recreate some of the drinks at home, we had to figure out how to recreate this base first!

Thanks again to our friends at Sandals for inviting us to experience Ochi Beach in Ocho Rios, Jamaica!
